20 Reasons to Use WebPlus X2 Web Design Software

Saturday March 21, 2009

This is one Web design software I really enjoyed reviewing. It was so simple and easy to use I think I may let my 10 year old give it a try. WebPlus X2 has everything, even clip art to help you decorate your Web pages with. The way you use it is very different than using other Web design software. Instead of being given a set template and having to fill it in, you can put anything anywhere and move anything anywhere.

The kind of versatility this Web design software offers is amazing. You can cut out a piece of your page from one area and move it to another area on the page. There's no coding needed at all. Just type and design your heart out. Using the templates, clip art and other features WebPlus X2 offers in their Web design software, you'll be able to create the most amazing Web site yet.

If you've already tried this Web design software, I'd love to hear your opinion of it. Post your comments about the software here. If you have any questions, post them here too.

I do recommend reading the book that comes with the software before starting, or while using, the software. The how to’s are good too, and there’s an extensive help section. Getting started may be a little tricky, but once you get the hang of it, you’re going to love it.

If you’ve tried WebPlus X2 can you tell me what you think of it? How easy is it compared to other Web design software you’ve tried?

My son started using WebPlus 9 when he was 6 years old, and made this website for a school project using WP10 when he was 7 and another the following year.
WebPlus really is phenomenally easy to use and gives you confidence to move on to other more complex web skills. So a few months ago – age 9 – he started teaching himself Flash 8 and can now do simple animations.

I found the same thing – after a few websites using WebPlus I moved on to Joomla and now have a string of highly sophisticated sites. But without WebPlus I doubt if I would have ever attempted to design my own webpages.

By now we have most of the Serif range of products, and I use PagePlus for business and to produce the village magazine. All the Serif range are excellent value, packed with features, easy to use – and once you have bought one they tend to phone you up with offers that make the products even cheaper!

I am a budding website designer and I have completed by first website. It took me some weeks of mostly research for the articles and images but Webplus X2 was a godsend because I didn’t have to have any html programming experience what so ever. I use my website mostly a non-profit organization as a newsletter and resource that caters to wounded soldiers from Iraq and Afghanistan. http://www.purpleheartsa.org.

it is a great program for those not wanting to spend $1000+ custom website or $600 to buy adobe web premuim. first off this i not for anyone who is a expert in web design. it is for people who need to build a site with little money to put into it, and little knowledge. i reccomend you read the book. and have some patience. and by the way the website link above is a download with some viruis, running IE 8 and it closed it to prevent harm to computer
